A legend puts down the knife and fork

This aggression will not stand, man.

 

Why? You'd be defending the high holy ground of sports from those sullying it by including competitive eating. Take ESPN to task for airing it! Ridicule outlets that provide coverage of it!

 

You've got to be kidding. Waste time on that carnival?
No thanks.
Again, some of you folks might have worked at places that would have gone for this stuff. Fortunately, I haven't ... and wouldn't.

 

Today on SPORTS SHOUT FEST: Does the women's Olympic team need Caitlin Clark MORE than the Hot Dog Contest needs Joey Chestnut. We will YELL about it......NEXT!!!!!

 

Don't ever watch The Ocho then.

JC, hope you like that one too!

 

How is this a shout fest? Who yelled at anyone?
I don't believe eating a bunch of food is a sport.
Others apparently do.

 

You hate Joey Chestnut!

 

Calm down, dude. No need to get heated.

 

Nah.
IIRC, though, Joie Chitwood participated in a few Indianapolis 500s.

 

it ain't a sport if you can do it drunk.

 

Yes, only crap newspapers would include coverage of competitive eating. Good to know you'd never accept a lowly gig at the NYT, WaPo, Boston Globe or LA Times.

Those are crap stories.
If I were to believe some posts on the politics thread ... they are crap newspapers.
